Wedding off to a rocky start.....

I heard this story from a friend of mine who is from Bulgaria, and it is too interesting not to pass along.

A girl and boy from a very small village wanted to get married but their families were against their union.  The boy and girl organized their wedding anyway and invited both families to join them.  The groom's mother cast a spell on the couple.  The spell was to turn the couple into stone after they exchanged their vows.  The vows were completed and the couple kissed and immediately turned into stone; however, so did everyone else including the groom's mother who cast the spell in the first place.

These stone figures, known as the Stone Wedding, can still be seen today near the village of Zimzelen in Bulgaria.
